Very interesting to see the references to the message below from the USR
newsforum, It was supposedly setup to allow customers to help one another.
Unfortunately no one from USR responds publicly. But that doesn't mean they
don't watch the forum. Here is a response from someone which totally berates
people who don't buy the service packages from USR/3COM. You will see that
the message was actually sent by a USR/3COM staff member. I guess this
really tells you what they think of us.

As always, I will post my name, for I am not ashamed of what I say.

also a purchaser of over $10,000 worth of USR/3COM equipment.

the newsgroup can be found on this server: totalservice.usr.com (standard
NNTP connection) the forum name is 3com.totalservice.support Check it out
yourself soon for they probably won't have it on that server for long.

Here is the reference on the message from Microsoft Outlook Express client
FILE/PROPERTIES/DETAIL), I put my comments in parenthesis:
